Well, several weeks have gotten away from me again without a Tot School post. That’s what summer vacation will do to ya! Anyway, here is what Hunter did over the last few weeks.

Our color for the month of July was purple, so Hunter got to use the do-a-dot markers and make a purple picture. I definitely slacked in the color teaching department though and we didn’t do very many purple related activities.

Our theme during the month of July was ocean/beach. Here are some of the projects we made:

We made a fish craft snack, which Hunter ate before I could take a picture of it

Here are the ones that Hailey and I made- they were cute and yummy.

Hunter loves when we do activities and crafts. When he sees me getting things out, preparing to make something, he has to look and see what I’m doing. Then he’ll say, “Paint” and “Coat,” which is what he calls his smock.

The theme for the Poppins Book Nook for the month of July is ocean/beach. This worked out perfectly for us because Hailey really showed a big interest in learning about the ocean after our recent trip to the beach.

The first thing Hailey did was make a KWL chart… she listed the things she knows and the things she wants to know.

Then we got some books out of the library… some ocean related books…

and some dolphin related books. There were just so many good ones I couldn’t decide what to pick!

We really enjoyed the books, but this was our favorite. There were so many interesting facts and bright, colorful pictures.

Hailey is working on a unit study about dolphins. We didn’t finish it in time to include it in this post, but I hope to post about later this week as we are almost done.

She is also creating a dolphin lapbook, which is not done either. Come back later this week to see a post about that.

We made a yummy treat to go along with our ocean theme… Hunter ate his before I could take a picture.

They turned out cute! It’s just a graham cracker with blue frosting, some goldfish and some sprinkles.

Hailey was pleased with the results too

Of course, we had to make a craft, and we decided to make a killer whale.
